Korean dance is a tradition that includes every form of contemporary dance in the country, from shamanistic to folk, court to modern traditional dance, and even breakdancing. Over the past several centuries, each of these unique dance forms has attempted to convey the Korean psyche. This book aims to examine Korean dance from its primitive roots to the complex court rituals and on to the pop culture styles of today.146p. illus [col] index. Book

1997Visiting North Korea is a surreal experience. Harried-looking traffic police clear up imaginary bottlenecks on the deserted streets of Pyongyang, while long lines of forlorn citizens wait patiently to be admitted to amusements parks that have long since been abandoned. Everywhere, pretense and illusion are the order of the day. Closed to the West for more than forty years, North Korea is an isolated and alien land. When Yi Sun-Kyung traveled there in the summer of 1994-the first Western journalist ever allowed in for an extended visit-she found a nation ruled by fear and a people yearning for unification with the South. This extraordinary memoir grew out of that unforgettable trip. But Inside the Hermit Kingdom is more than just a travelogue of a strange and foreign country. It is in fact the story of two journeys-the first a journey to a place seldom seen and only vaguely understood, the second a journey of self-discovery for the author. Born in South Korea in 1967, Sun-Kyung moved with her family to Canada when she was still a girl. 237p. plates Book

2012ill., br. Questo diario di viaggio, pur non avendo la pretesa di dare un'immagine definitiva della Repubblica Popolare Democratica di Corea, ha il pregio di porre l'attenzione su una serie di dettagli a lungo trascurati. Tra questi, emergono il calore, la delicata curiosità verso gli stranieri, l'ospitalità e la fierezza del popolo coreano, le condizioni di vita semplici ma complessivamente dignitose, che stridono con la povertà che affligge invece vasti strati della società di tante nazioni considerate emergenti e con la descrizione del paese fatta dalla propaganda occidentale, così come l'armonia architettonica di Pyongyang, le strutture pubbliche funzionanti ed efficienti, la sensibilità ecologica del popolo. Davide Rossi ci ricorda l'importanza della complessità culturale del paesaggio geografico che non può essere a lungo mutilato e ridotto a una mera contrapposizione tra interessi geopolitici regionali. Il dialogo con chi è distante necessita piuttosto di attenzione a particolari e sfumature inusitati e di ascolto per le esigenze che uomini e donne lontani, ma simili a noi, cercano di comunicarci attraverso l'organizzazione di un altro modello sociale. Introduzione di Mario Scaini, postfazione di Flavio Pettinari.
